(and I know that D3 can be really bad for tegus....don't know if this is true for beardies) And should I be dusting a multi vitamin as well. If so...how often do I do this?

    Also .....how long to set the light up for....8 - 10 - or 12 hours a day.

    I think that is about it....sorry guys...total newbie questions can be a drag I know..... But if you ever need advice on balls...I got your back...lol
    HI first off dust your crix with calcium with d3 and i use that 6 days a week and on the 7th day i us a multi vitamin and for bedding i use newspaper easy to clean. Also you dont need to have the powersun on during the night and me and my wife leave the lights on for 13 to 14 hours during the summer unless we take them out side to get real sunlight (no point in having the light on when there not in there cage) and during the winters we leave the lights on for about 8 to 10 hours.

    i hope that helps my wife and i keep over 30 beardies and all are healthy and eating great.
